Writing: Last week I started to write "Dates for Donuts". I only wrote 325 words, but I wrote them while in the company of others. I had taken part in a session hosted The Remote Body, which hosts a Zoom call every Thursday at 9 am my time where chronically ill and disabled people work on crafts and other creative ventures.
In a different Zoom call (with RestFest) I wrote a piece of poetry which I did share as a note here as well as on Instagram. You might be familiar with a poet named Jennae Cecelia, who wrote a poem where she took a younger version of herself out for coffee. My poem is my take on that.
Reading: I read one chapter of "Jane Eyre", which puts me at the end of Chapter 11.
With regards to your thought - my hands cramp quite easily when handling a pen/pencil, so I prefer using digital tools.
Hi Dylan, Congratulations on starting to write Dates for Donuts. 🤗 And 325 words are more than you had the week before. ~ Wishing you a lovely and creative week.
You’re the second person I’ve read recently to write about hand writing. I have an idea for a story and I think I’ll take this approach, even though my handwriting has deteriorated somewhat.
Worked a little on the novella, revised a short story (and submitted it to a lit website!) and started a new Substack post.
With each new project, I'm trying to write the first draft by hand... and I always end up writing on my computer. I'm using Scrivener. I write by hand in my journals and when I think through story problems, otherwise I'm just better on the computer. ~ Wishing you a creative week. 😁
Hi Olivia, just checking in with some disappointing weekly numbers. My Goal: 5K a week. Actual words for the week = 3,381. Total for the year = 34,973. I'm fairly confident that I'm going to hit my weekly goal this week though. Have a good week. - Jim
